Not writing to call you a moron, I'm a newbie myself and i could be 
wrong...  But i copied and pasted your test code for 
EditingControlShowingTest_Bound into Visual Studio 2010, but rather than 
creating the DataGridVIew in code i placed it on the form and modified 
your code to use the one on the form...  And i disabled the asserts...  
And from what i can tell it runs fine in both .net and mono (that is, 
the data grid view populates).

One thing that I noticed about your code, though, is it depends on a 
'showing' event..

And i wonder if that means your datagridview needs to be placed on a 
form which is displayed, so that it is actually shown...

i.e. change your code something like this:

using (Form Form1=new Form()){
     Form1.Controls.Add(_dataGridView);//optionaly set sizeand location 
of both gridview and form
     Form1.Show();

     ... insert the rest of your code here ....
}
